★★★★★ 5.0 Dalton Robinson · Mar 2026

Simply stellar, came in with party of 4 with no reservation, they were full but accommodated our party at a bar table. Service was very attentive and friendly. Ordered the birria quesadillas and dulce de leche bread pudding for dessert and they were just phenomenal. Others were very pleased with the al pastor and lengua tacos as well as the flan. Mezcal house margaritas excellent. Will 1000% be back enthusiastically very soon

We passed this restaurant every night during our vacation in Ithaca and it always had people sitting outside. We decided to sit inside and it was cozy and inviting. The server was friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were great! We got to try the ceviche and had chips and salsa but still had room for our dinners. Everything was hot and fresh.

★★★★★ 5.0 Christina Altieri · Feb 2026

What a vibe! Excellent food, every time. The atmosphere is sharp and comfy, tough combo to pull off. Service is impeccable. I love going here for an intimate dinner or with several friends. Truly, it works! I know the bar stuff is important to them, lots of tequilas and beers, but that's not my thing so I cannot judge.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ed Frankoski · Jan 2026

You might think from the sidewalk that a basement restaurant is not where you want to go, but you would be so wrong. This place is a treasure chest for authentic Mexican and Latin cuisine. We sat at the bar and Gail was our server. She took us on a journey through the menu and happy hour specials as we had a half hour to go before 6:00 pm. She also showed us the extensive Tequila and Mezcal list which was boasting some 20+ bottlings of each type. We settled on a variety of scratch made tacos which were expertly prepared, washed them down with Modello Especial and sipped on tequila along the way. For desert, we had the house prepared Flan which was superb. This place is authentic from beginning to end. Get in here as soon as you can.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Walter Hartman · Jan 2026

Horrendous customer service. Overpriced average food. Haphazard atmosphere. My son and I went there last week and we got our tacos to share, we were given one plate. When I asked for another plate, the short waiter smugly said, "You'll be okay. Enjoy amigos." How lazy and dissatisfied do you have to be to not go grab a requested plate?? It wasn't busy. The food was okay but overpriced. I know they're trying to be rustic but there's actual holes in the floor. Not recommended.
